I’m still here and still toeing the line on my diet. The workplace stress has been off the charts, but I’ve managed my way through it just fine. I go back to the doc in 10 days for a weigh-in. I went in another notch on my belt this past week, so I’m hoping for ...
I had my monthly check-up with my doc this morning, something I'm doing during the initial stages of my diet to help enforce some accountability, along with monitoring some real-world medical issues. When I started the diet, I agreed not to weight myself between visits because she didn't want me focused on short-term variation. If ...
Discovery News reported earlier this month that scientists were able to remove a single gene to extend the life span and quality of life of female mice. The most popular diabetes drug in the United States, metformin, targets the same proteins produced by the deleted gene, raising the possibility that millions of ...
Peter Bregman, in To Change Effectively, Change Just One Thing on the Harvard Business Blog pointed me to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that concluded Reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize.

I feel my first week of dieting has gone moderately well, mostly because I kept my expectations modest. I weighed in at my doctor’s office last Friday (345 lbs, didja hear?) and the first thing she told me was to not weigh myself at home. She only wants me focused on the long-term weight-loss, not ...

Bah! What a trying 24 hrs it’s been! First, in upgrading to Wordpress 2.8.4, one of my plugins went into conflict and somehow crashed my site. I don’t know which one or how it happened, but couldn’t get it back online no matter what I tried. In the end, I had to do a fresh install. Which ...
Hi there. I'm back. No excuses, no apologies. I was off the bandwagon, now I'm back on. Both dieting and blogging. The annual kickoff date for the hundreddayheadstart is September 23 - 100 days before New Year's Day. The idea is to not wait for New Year's to start diet and fitness program you've been meaning to ...
So, with this move to Huntsville, AL coming up, I’ve been giving the diet and exercise a good hard thought. As opposed to a soft thought, I guess. Anyway, I’m going up about 4 months before my family so the kids can finish school. Sucks for me. But for my diet and exercise, it could be ...
I’ve written about how I really like the Wii for a substitute exercise from time to time. Yesterday, Diet-Blog posted about the upcoming WiiFit, which promises to extend the exercise and fitness options to Wii owners. The base games provided with the Wii is the WiiSports package, which includes tennis, boxing, baseball, golf, and bowling. Most ...
